"The Marie Callender's brand, with its signature green packaging, is instantly familiar from the freezer aisle of the grocery store. Yet, the brand's empire extends well beyond the many Marie Callender's frozen meals on offer. There are still a number of Marie Callender's restaurants open, spread throughout California, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada. But one unexpected product from the brand found itself with quite a cult following: Marie Callender's Angus Beef Chili."
"A brief glance across the internet will show that this particular chili is ranked by many among the very best. Much to the dismay of the dedicated fans of this canned meal, however, the producer, Conagra, has seemingly discontinued its production. But fans have not been shy in sharing their opinions and begging for its return."
""Thank you for letting us know that you were a fan of our Marie Callender's Angus Beef Chili with Beans," the company reportedly wrote back. "I'm sorry that it's no longer available. However, there are many reasons we discontinue products, including how consumer preferences change over time. Your feedback is very important to us and will be shared with our team.""
Marie Callender's is known for frozen meals and a small chain of restaurants across several Western states. One canned item, Marie Callender's Angus Beef Chili, developed a devoted online following and many rave reviews. Conagra appears to have discontinued the chili, which has led fans to post pleas and five-star reviews on retailer sites. Some customers directly contacted Conagra to request a relaunch. Conagra responded that the product is no longer available and that discontinuations happen for various reasons, noting that customer feedback will be shared with the team.
